About Resolution Project
At Resolution Project, we see the spark of passion in young people. We work with them to build it into a lifetime of impact. People do not need decades of experience before they can start making a difference in the world. Especially while young, they have the energy, idealism, and ambition to address complex challenges—today. But they need a community that invests and believes in their leadership. Resolution provides this support to young innovators around the world so they can break barriers and ignite meaningful change.
The Resolution Fellowship is the core of our work. To become a Resolution Fellow, young people first compete in our Social Venture Challenge (SVC), pitching ideas for social enterprises in their communities. Those who are selected become Fellows, receiving seed funding and lifelong support. Resolution is there, even if they evolve or pivot from their original ideas, with global resources, mentorship, expertise, and community, along with a growing network of local partners. These components come together to form a proven model that identifies promising young leaders, launches their first ventures, and sticks with them as they grow.
Since our beginning in 2008, Resolution Project has launched and supported the growth of over 600 Fellows, working across six continents and in over 80 countries. Altogether, our Fellows have impacted the lives of more than 4.6 million people around the globe. Through Resolution Project, young leaders receive unmatched guidance and wisdom from a team of partners, volunteers, and innovative peers around the globe.

The Program Coordinator will also be responsible for key data management tasks and helping to draft content and resources for Resolution’s global audience. This staff member will both support ongoing projects in existing systems and have opportunities to build out new structures.
The candidate must have a flexible schedule, be prepared to join meetings and conference calls earlier and later than regular business hours – including some weekends – with appropriate compensation and/or schedule adjustments, and be willing to occasionally travel when it is safe to do so.
Key Responsibilities

Feedback Labs is based out of the Open Gov Hub , located in the heart of Washington DC, a short walk from key global institutions. This creative space allows for collaboration and innovation among different groups; it also offers networking opportunities, brown-bag lunches, happy hours, access to a gym, and other activities.

As such, Feedback Labs will consider any candidates who can work the core Feedback Labs hours (9-5pm ET) and are legally eligible to work in the United States.

Screening Call (15 mins)
Second interview (1 hour)
Take home skills assignment (~2 hours)
Final interview (3 hours)
Reference checks (10 mins each)
Commitment to Diversity: We understand that there are numerous reasons why someone would read a job description and, despite “checking off most of the boxes”, decide not to apply. Research supports that self-selecting out of potential professional opportunity is particularly common among individuals with minoritized identities or identities that are marginalized in professional spaces such as BIPOC individuals, LGBTIQ+ individuals, persons with a disability, neurodivergent individuals, and individuals with a history of institutionalization (e.g. incarceration, immigration detainment, inpatient treatment, or chronic hospitalization). If you question whether or not you would be a “good fit” for Feedback Labs, please engage in an initial conversation with the position contact, Annie Grier, at annie@feedbacklabs.org . Feedback Labs intentionally creates environments that value “culture add” over “culture fit”. We invite you to share how your unique identities, background, and experiences could add to our team.
Accessibility: Closed captioning is available during all Zoom interviews. If you need assistance accessing this feature, please let your interviewer know at the start of your interview!
We’re committed to running an inclusive and accessible application process. If there are questions or concerns you have about the accessibility of our hiring process, we warmly invite you to reach out to jobs@feedbacklabs.org .
Venue: We conduct interviews over the phone and with Zoom with camera on (unless communicated otherwise). Interviewees are invited to update their Zoom names with their pronouns.
Feedback Labs encourages applications from people of all races, genders, orientations, ethnicities, backgrounds, and identities, and strives to ensure inclusive and affirming benefits for all. If you need assistance or accommodations to fully participate in the hiring process, please contact us at jobs@feedbacklabs.org
